GOLDEN STATE

KEY GAME INFORMATION

TORONTO: GUARDS: KYLE LOWRY was banged up last season, but he enters this year healthy and has the potential to be one of the league's best two-way point guards . . . DEMAR DEROZAN does a nice job attacking, but he's a flawed player unless he develops a jump shot . . . The Raptors want TERRENCE ROSS to attack the basket more often. But whether he develops a three-point shot could determine where he fits into this rotation . . . After a disastrous season in Indiana, D.J. AUGUSTIN will have to earn his rotation spot. Toronto could use his shooting, though . . . DWIGHT BUYCKS comes back from Europe to back up Lowry . . . Versatile JULYAN STONE is an interesting bit piece, as he reunites with GM Masai Ujiri, who brought him to Denver. FORWARDS: Despite all that talent, RUDY GAY's poor shot selection and disinterested defense will have him on the trading block . . . AMIR JOHNSON will get another chance at full-time minutes. Despite some inconsistency, he still has the upside to be a good rebounder and shot-blocker . . . TYLER HANSBROUGH brings toughness and a decent mid-range jumper. He's a second-unit talent, but could challenge Johnson for minutes . . . LANDRY FIELDS is a well-compensated reserve . . . STEVE NOVAK gives them a legitimate shooter among the second unit . . . Toronto will try to shake some of that upside out of AUSTIN DAYE . . . QUINCY ACY will move to the three, likely making this a redshirt year. CENTERS: JONAS VALANCIUNAS is set to become Toronto's new centerpiece. Talented enough for them to run the offense through him, he's rapidly improving on both ends of the court . . . AARON GRAY will stick around as a decent back-up, a 7-footer who can get in the way defensively.

SACRAMENTO: GUARDS: GREIVIS VASQUEZ seems to have the edge in the point guard battle. He's a pass-first floor general who fits better in a lineup full of chuckers . . . ISAIAH THOMAS will have a major role whether he starts or not. He can score, and while his lack of size is a defensive liability, he makes up for it with harassing on-ball pressure . . . MARCUS THORNTON will eventually be relegated to a smaller role, but the gunning combo guard will get his minutes until Ben McLemore is ready . . . BEN MCLEMORE takes a lot of heat for his lack of assertiveness, but he can knock down corner threes and is an outstanding athlete, which is enough to make him a fine role player . . . JIMMER FREDETTE is kicking around as trade bait . . . Second-rounder RAY MCCALLUM should earn a bench role.FORWARDS: With his potential to be a solid defender, JASON THOMPSON is likely to retain his starting job. He's an afterthought on offense, though . . . LUC RICHARD MBAH A MOUTE seems like a natural to slide into the starting lineup. He can defend multiple spots and doesn't need touches on a team of players who do . . . CARL LANDRY could unseat Thompson. We see him in the same kind of bench role he had in Golden State. He's very good offensively and a relentless rebounder, but will struggle defensively against top-line forwards . . . JOHN SALMONS avoided the amnesty axe, though his role will likely be reduced again . . . Stretch four PATRICK PATTERSON is on the fringe of this rotation . . . Streaky shooting should have TRAVIS OUTLAW in and out of the rotation. CENTERS: The new regime of head coach Michael Malone will try again with DEMARCUS COUSINS, who continues to show flashes of dominance but too often plays and acts like a head case. He's playing for a contract, which would presumably have him on his best behavior . . . CHUCK HAYES will continue to be a second-unit glue guy at the four and five.

The Toronto Raptors' decision to trade Rudy Gay was seen largely as a move aimed at financial flexibility.

Since the deal, though, they've been one of the better teams in the NBA.

Toronto will face Gay for the first time since trading him when they visit the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.

Gay shifted teams for the second time in less than two seasons as part of a seven-player deal Dec. 9. The trade also saw Aaron Gray and Quincy Acy join him in Sacramento, while Greivis Vasquez, Patrick Patterson, John Salmons and Chuck Hayes were sent to Toronto.

With two of those acquisitions from the Kings playing on expiring contracts and Gay set to make more than $37 million through next season, the Raptors' motives appeared based on finances.

However, Toronto's 19-10 record since remaking its roster has been among the best in the league and the Raptors (26-22) are atop the Atlantic Division.

"We're playing for each other. Each of us want the best for the others on the team," Vasquez said. "We care about each other and have great chemistry."

Toronto is 10-6 away from home since the deal and has won four of five overall and six of eight, including a 94-79 victory at Utah on Monday. DeMar DeRozan scored nine of his 23 points in the final quarter and the first-time All-Star has averaged 26.8 points over his last eight road contests.

"Honestly, I think there is no pressure on the road," DeRozan said.

Gay has been enjoying one of the most successful stretches of his career in Sacramento, averaging career bests of 20.7 points and 53.0 percent shooting. He averaged 19.4 points and 38.8 percent in 18 games for Toronto this season.

However, what Gay described as a "new beginning" at the time of the trade hasn't appeared to change much for the Kings (16-32). Sacramento is 11-19 since Dec. 9 after also starting eight games below .500 at 5-13.

The club was able to snap a seven-game skid with a 99-70 home win over Chicago on Monday, getting 25 points and 16 rebounds from DeMarcus Cousins after he missed six games with a sprained ankle.

"To be honest, I shouldn't have been playing tonight," said Cousins, averaging 25.7 points, 17.3 rebounds and 59.6 percent from the field in his last three against Toronto. "But I'm not the kind of guy to let a nagging injury hold me back. So once I got to the point where I could play through the pain, go through the pain and stiffness in my ankle, I was ready to go."

Sacramento could have the advantage of facing the Raptors without Kyle Lowry after the point guard left Monday's contest with pain in his right knee. Lowry's 7.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game lead Toronto.

Jonas Valanciunas has been surging for the Raptors, scoring 18 points against the Jazz and averaging 16.7 and 58.0 percent shooting over his last six. He was averaging 10.0 points and 49.3 percent prior to that stretch.

The Raptors have dropped five of six meetings with the Kings and are 2-14 all-time in Sacramento.
